USRC/USCGC Hudson (1893-1935)

USRC Hudson, a 128-ton tug, was built at
Camden, New Jersey. Commissioned in September 1893, she was
assigned to duties in the New York Harbor area for almost all of
her career. During the Spanish-American War, she also operated
off Cuba, and rescued USS Winslow while under enemy fire at
Cardenas in May 1898. Hudson returned to New York
after the war. She decommissioned in May 1935.
